Safe, permanent housing is a right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. Delawareans are paying up to 50% of their income on rent while homeownership drifts further out of reach, yet my opponent has accepted millions from the same financial institutions that brought us the last housing crisis.

I pledge to never take a dollar from them, and to fight ferociously for legislation that ensures every American has a healthy place to live.

Healthcare is a human right, and it's time for Medicare for All — a system that guarantees coverage for every resident, lowers costs, and saves lives. Our current system leaves Americans at the mercy of corporations, drowning in medical debt and unable to afford prescriptions.

Unlike my opponent, who has accepted millions from HMOs and big pharma, I will not take a single dollar from any group that profits off the health needs of our community.

The LGBTQIA+ community has always been forced to build its own networks of support in the face of a system that refuses to protect them, and as legal threats grow at every stage of life, that fight is more urgent than ever.

Barriers to equality are embedded in our tax code, healthcare, housing, and every corner of daily life. As a proud member of this community, I will never back down from fighting for it.

Social Security is a right every working American has earned, and it is not on the table. Benefit cuts hurt seniors, the disabled, and everyone who loves them. Without congressional action, combined funds will be depleted by 2034 — and when asked whether cuts should be considered to balance the budget, Chris Coons said, "All options are on the table."

Delaware deserves a senator who will never say that.

We are a nation of immigrants, and our Constitution guarantees due process to everyone — a fact the Trump administration routinely ignores. As ICE terrorizes communities across the country with unlawful apprehensions and detentions, all of us are made less free.

As your senator, I will fight to protect our immigrant neighbors, our doctors, agricultural workers, and everyone else who makes this country what it is. The draconian overreach must stop.

The time to debate the moral imperative of addressing the climate crisis has passed. For too long, our energy policy was written by oil corporations and their lobbyists. That ends now.

We need green jobs that pay living wages, investment in renewable energy, and housing retrofits that lower costs and emissions. I will raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy to fund it, and heavily fine the fossil fuel corporations that deliberately deceived us about climate change. They created this crisis. They will pay for it.

My opponent has accepted mass sums from energy lobbies. I won't.

Our fellow citizens can't keep a roof over their heads or food on the table, yet Chris Coons and others have voted to keep sending billions in weapons to a country perpetrating a genocide, vetoing ceasefire resolutions and defunding UNRWA while Palestinians document their own slaughter.

There is no bipartisanship in genocide. There must be an arms embargo, and the Block the Bombs Act must pass.

Continuous military intervention, economic sanctions wielded as weapons, and a U.S. veto that shields atrocities from accountability: this approach has isolated America from the world and dragged us into conflicts with no end in sight.

We need a foreign policy grounded in sovereignty, human rights, and diplomacy. That means restructuring military spending to prioritize care at home and reforming the UN Security Council to move toward resolution rather than conflict. The US-led world order is fracturing. Denial is not a strategy.

The federal minimum wage hasn't budged since 2009, and at $7.25 an hour, while members of Congress enjoy automatic salary increases tied to the cost of living.

One full-time job used to be enough to support a family; it should still be. Every worker, in every industry, deserves compensation that reflects their dignity and hard work, and the minimum wage must be indexed to the cost of living — period.

Schools are the foundation of healthy communities, and decades of federal policy have systematically drained public education to funnel tax dollars into charter and private religious schools.

Teachers deserve higher pay, better resources, and real support; students deserve safe, inclusive environments where their existence is never up for debate. Gutting the Department of Education would mean abandoning our children.

Americans are struggling to keep the lights on, and utility companies keep raising rates even as households cut back. Meanwhile, AI data centers, which offer nothing to ordinary Americans, are being subsidized at every level of government while driving energy costs higher.

Enough. Energy companies and data centers should not be receiving public subsidies while families can't pay their bills. We need real relief, real accountability, and a firm stand against any expansion that raises costs and lowers our standard of living.

Access to reproductive healthcare is fundamental to every person's ability to plan their life with dignity and autonomy. The overturning of Roe v. Wade eliminated forty years of precedent and put lives at risk — and Republicans continue to override the will of voters to push it further.

The Hyde Amendment must go. Abortion rights must be codified. This is not up for debate.

Mass shootings are not inevitable. They are the consequence of policy failure, and the refusal to act is a stain on this country. Guns are flooding our streets while legislation lags behind, disproportionately devastating Black and Brown communities.

Universal background checks. Mandatory waiting periods. An assault weapons ban. The solutions are not complicated. The only thing standing in the way is political cowardice, and that ends with new leadership.
